Why They’re My Favorites
Poker Content Ideas - I’m always proudest of the posts where I emphasize poker content creation. This is the most effective poker SEO technique I know of.
Poker Content Planning – It’s not enough to create poker content, you need to plan your poker content. I’ve been trying to do a better job of that here at this blog.
Poker Content Production Schedules – Another poker SEO technique where I’ve been weak in the past is working on a poker content production schedule. I’ve been increasingly diligent here lately, and I’m already seeing some results.
How to Write a Poker Review – I’m proud of this post because I think most people in this business post lousy poker reviews, and it’s a real disservice to the entire industry. If everyone started putting care and thought into their poker reviews, it would create a ripple effect across the industry. It would be a big step in the direction of getting us out of the “poker, pills and porn” connotation.
25 Ways to Get Poker Article Ideas – Lists are always good blog content, and I probably don’t write enough of them. This post combines a linkbaity title with emphasis on crafting good poker content, so it’s a real hit in my mind.
How to Create a Good Poker Landing Page – Most of my thoughts about creating a good landing page are similar to my thoughts on writing a good poker review, but it’s important enough that it warrants writing about early and often.
50 Ways to Get Poker Traffic – Another linkbaity type title, but the tips for getting poker traffic there are really solid. I think any of them will work, and I think choosing 5 of them would show you significant increases in poker traffic over a short period of time.
How to Launch a Poker Site Network – I’ve written about the importance of launching personal and local poker content before, but I think this post expresses the reasons why it’s an effective part of a poker site network strategy is exceptionally helpful. I wish I’d had this advice when I started.
Who Else Wants One Way Poker Links? – The title of this one was inspired by a headline I saw at Copyblogger. I like the title a lot, and the ideas for getting one way poker links are solid and practical. The only thing I don’t like about this post is that it almost implies that one way poker links are better than reciprocal links, which is a philosophy I don’t subscribe to.
Poker Link Exchange Thoughts – I enjoy dispelling poker SEO myths, and my favorite poker SEO myth is that poker link exchanges don’t work. They work just fine, and the people who understand this benefit significantly from the strategy.
Poker Link Building Expert – I wish I’d come up with a better title for this one. I’m thinking about doing a new post on the same subject, but titling it “Expert Poker Link Building for Poker Link Building Experts”. The insights in the post are solid though.
Poker Link Building Services – More of my insights into how little real competition is out there for legitimate poker link building services. Launch a real poker link building service, and I’ll be your biggest proponent.
Poker Link Bait Strategies – I don’t see a lot of poker link bait being written. If someone could become good at crafting poker link bait, they could make a fortune as a consultant in this business. (They could also make a fortune using their expert poker link baiting strategies to create links for their own sites.)
Natural Poker Links – This is one of those posts that will probably be misinterpreted as critical of some poker link building techniques, but that wasn’t the intention. My goal was to share a way of thinking about links and link building that goes a little deeper than, “How is this link going to help me rank better?”
Poker Link Request Emails That Suck (And One That Doesn’t) – I guess pointing out how bad some of the link request emails I get are is mean-spirited, but I think it’s pretty lame to waste my time with such nonsensical emails.
Poker SEO Cliches and Poker Link Building Cliches – This one’s a good example of how to come up with content when you don’t have any other ideas.
If You Meet the SEO Guru on the Road, Kill Him – This is just a badass title.
Social Media Optimization for Poker Websites – I started a whole series of articles on this topic, but after writing 3 or 4 of them, I realized that I’d said about everything I had to say about the principles of social media optimization. No matter what type of social media site you’re wanting to optimize for, most of the optimization principles are the same.
Poker SEO Shortcuts – I just think this is an easy and often overlooked way of building traffic to your site.
Poker SEO Metrics – Most poker webmasters don’t focus hard enough on how they measure success. You can’t manage what you don’t measure. The poker webmasters who DO dig into their data and measure their efforts’ results make a lot more money than the rest of us.
Hey Randy,
I thought this was such a good idea and a great excuse to build my internal linking structure that I copied your idea on my bingo site onlinebingohalls.org!
